Theoretical Groups at Distance

[cavedweller]

That was part of the data collection process. 10, 26 and 40 simply because they are the distances I needed to verify (well 10 and 26). It was the 10 yard group that was the odd one, difficult to know if its a half a pellet or not but it seems right.

Draw two thin parallel lines across your card stock @ 4mm then make perfectly centered tiny dots within the two lines for points of aim… you will easily be able to discern the difference in poi.

He's asking about 40y to 55y.....Not 100y to 1000y.

In terms of moa...shooter error won't magnify at longer distances. If you have a 1 moa wobble....it's 1 moa at any distance.

Since he's talking about indoors....surely wind isn't a factor.

True... 1 MOA is 1 MOA at any distance. I'm not suggesting otherwise. What I AM suggesting is that errors introduced by the shooter (among other factors) increase over distance. Shooter wobble isn't the only factor affecting precision.

In any case, I'm out. Good luck to the OP!

I would agree that the variables could be numerous… weights, speeds, sizing variations … etc but at what point is it relevant?
